" Morrissey has said that he thinks modern music shows a lack of social awareness.  The former Smiths frontman made the comments in an interview with Billboard magazine. Morrissey said: &amp;quot;Although everything has opened up, music seems to suddenly be stifled. There are no songs anywhere about social awareness. 1971 suddenly seems quite radical by comparison.  &amp;quot;But you can&amp;#039;t complain too much because you begin to sound like a cloistered nun.&amp;quot; Morrissey labelled Prime Minister David Cameron a &amp;quot;silly twit&amp;quot; during his recent Glastonbury performance. The musician, who is currently without a record label, also added that he feels the word &amp;#039;indie&amp;#039; has become devalued. When asked whether he would prefer a major or independent label, Morrissey explained: &amp;quot;I am independent by nature. I am an independent artist even when I am on a major label. &amp;quot;The word &amp;#039;indie&amp;#039; is meaningless now. It&amp;#039;s so overused that people think it simply means green hair.&amp;quot; He also revealed during the interview that his autobiography will be published in December 2012. Morrissey will perform at the O2 Brixton Academy on August 7 and the London Palladium on August 8.
